Why choose us in Brasilia?

Why book a graffiti workshop with us?

We pride ourselves on providing more than just a painting lesson; we offer a doorway into the local culture. Here is why our workshop is a must-do for your Brasilia itinerary:

  • Expert local artists: Learn directly from people who are active in the Brazilian street art scene.
  • Zero stress booking: No upfront payment required—you only pay once you've finished the workshop.
  • Reliability: We have a large team of artists, meaning we never cancel. A backup is always ready.
  • All-inclusive gear: We provide everything from professional-grade spray cans to protective overalls.
  • Great for all ages: Our workshops are family-friendly and accessible to everyone, regardless of artistic talent.
  • Memorable souvenirs: The photos and memories of spraying a wall in Brazil are better than any postcard!

How it works

  1. Arrival and meet-up: Meet your local graffiti guide at our designated creative spot in Brasilia, where we'll start with a brief intro into the city's street art scene.
  2. Safety first: Get geared up in our protective coveralls, gloves, and masks to ensure you stay clean while you get creative.
  3. The blank canvas: Learn about the different types of nozzle (caps) and how they change the flow of paint before making your first marks on the wall.
  4. Sketching your idea: Work with your artist mentor to sketch out your design, whether it's inspired by Brasilia's architecture or your own personal style.
  5. The filling process: Master the technique of 'filling in' your shapes smoothly, learning how to manage pressure and distance from the wall.
  6. Outlining and details: This is where the magic happens! Add sharp outlines and highlights to make your artwork pop and look professional.
  7. The master stroke: Add those final artistic flourishes and "power lines" that give graffiti its energetic and dynamic look.
  8. Photos and wrap-up: Take plenty of photos with your creation! After you're done, we handle all the clean-up while you head off to enjoy the rest of your city tour.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

You don't need any prior art experience to enjoy our Brasilia workshop! Our professional artists guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex layering. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before, but they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. We focus on fun and expression rather than perfectionism.

What should I wear for the graffiti session?

We provide high-quality protective gear including overalls, gloves, and masks to keep your clothes safe. However, spray paint can be unpredictable, so we strongly recommend wearing comfortable shoes and 'work clothes' that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on. Avoid wearing your favourite designer gear just in case, as the tropical Brasilia breeze can sometimes carry paint mist!

Is the workshop location safe and legal?

Absolutely! While we have amazing spots in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, our Brasilia locations are carefully selected for their safety, accessibility, and legal status. We work closely with local authorities and venue partners to ensure you can spray in a relaxed, secure environment. It is the perfect way to explore a different side of the city's unique urban landscape comfortably.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Standard tourist workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of Brazilian street art, learn the basic techniques, and complete your individual or group piece. If you are on a tight holiday schedule, we can often adjust the timing to fit your itinerary—just let us know what works best for you.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Brasilia experiences its fair share of sunshine and rain. Most of our workshop locations have covered areas or indoor backup options so the fun doesn't stop if the clouds roll in. If the weather is truly extreme, our 'no cancellation' policy means we will work with you to find a solution or use one of our versatile indoor spaces, ensuring your travel plans stay on track.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You don't have to pay anything upfront; you simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the experience. Just fill out our contact form with your group size and preferred date, and we will send you a custom quote. Our backup artist system ensures that your booking is 100% reliable.
